About this title

Synopsis

This book exposes the corruption, inefficiency, and dysfunctionality of the Ecclesiastical Courts of Record in England. It proposes reforms to improve the system, including merging the ecclesiastical courts with the common law courts and abolishing the jurisdiction of courts held by lay people. Whether you are a legal scholar, practitioner, or interested in the history of law and religion, this book provides a critical perspective on the church's role in the English legal system.
